A san Francisco gambler has written
to The Examiner an able letter in de-
fense of his business, and ends with this
chunk Of wisdom: Putting aside the
question Of what it costs TO learn a pro-
fession, who, l ask, confers the greatest
benefits on the world, the lawyer or the
professional gambler? The latter un-
questionably. For the lawyer gets his
wealth from people who are commonly
accounted wise, while the gambler makes
precarious livelihood from those who
are universally conceded to be fools, and
in curing folly hold myself to be the
moral superior Of him who discouzages
